A Pointed Suggestion.

1t was in Maine village that doc

things, inquired one day of the farmer
who supplied him with milk: Cows

you would carry out one suggestion

"Shinglc the cows? Why, what on

'Well, it's been raining a good deal
of late, and it strikes me that The rain
leaks through into the milk most of the
time. Ifyou'd single the cows. may
be there'd be less water in the milk"
The farmer grinned.

Increase of Sound by Echoes.

Sound is much increased by the echoes
in closed vault. In cave of the Pam
theon, the guide by striking the flap of
his great-coat makes noise like the re-
port of cannon. The same phenom-
enon is found in the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky. In the cave of Smellin,
near Viborg. in Finland, by throwing
in live animal terrible noises are
heard. Pliny tells of similar cave in
Dalmatia where the falling of a stone
raised perfect storm. Fingals Cave,
in the island of Staffa, presents another
remarkable phenomenon. The end of
this cave is dark and gloomy, and may
be compared to the chancel of church,
while the basaltic columns may be lik-
cned to the organ pipes. At the ex-
tremity of the grotto, and near the
level of the water, is small opening
whence come harmonious sounds which
are produced by the sea rising and fall

The afternoon was waning when the
visitors started to go. A cool breeze
came over the marshes from the Gulf,
bearing before it the white sails on the
bayou of the oyster luggers. With
mellow note from their conch shells
they announced their approach to the
residents Whereabouts, and if not hailed
they swept by like spectres and disap-

of COW bells in the woods told of the

chievous twinkle in her brown eyes that
nobody noticed, 50 occupied were they
in hiding the confusion that her sudden
entrance had created.
Walking to the table where most Of
the ladies were sitting, she saIutcd them
cordially; and then holding out upon
the tip of her slender finger g well-worn
silver thimble, she said arch'y-
''Where do you think found your
thimblc, Miss Patience?"
So pleased was Miss Patience to regain
her lost treasure that she forgot for a
moment all assumed dignity and ex-
claimed joyfulIy:
''WclI, I declare, l am glad to sec

Jane that l felt sure | had it on my fin

when I got home, it want nowhere to be
found. Now where did you find it?'
Her shriu, high voice had attracted
the attention of all in the room, and
everybody looked up curiously as the
minister's wife replied, with an innocent
smile:
'In the chicken pie that our good
friend hcre"-and she nodded brightly
to Mrs Farrell "sent me. left the pie on
the dresser when | went down cellar
after your yeast, and as soon as l came
back put it on the table, and when my
husband cut it there was your thimble
in it. How could it have got there2
1t is certainly very mysterious anyway"
Silence, deadly profound, yet, oh,
how terribly significant to the deacon's
wife and her spinster neighbor, fell
upon the group.
This was apparently unnoticed by Mrs.
Graham, who, with playful admonition
to Miss Patience to take better care of
her thimDle in future, began an ami
mated conversation with the ladies near
est her, thai soon restored the company
to their wonted ease and good humor.
But poor Miss Patience. she never
heard the last Of her lost thimble.

her death, never trusted any hands but
her own hands to make Thanks giving
pies for her minister.

a story told by a Scotch railrord laborer,
VINO saw hawk swoop upon ablackbird
which was singing on a bush by the
sideof the River Ettrick. The black
bird, he says, was at once unperched
and carried to the ground, struggling
and screaming in the talons Of his ad-
versary. The hawk, evidently finding
considerable difficulty in dispatching
the bird, dragged it along the ground
to a shallow pool, where he put his
head under water and stood on it till
his victim was drowned.

it was about, and hid in clump of
bushes. The crane had a bug in his
bill, and he kept dropping it into the

performance. [ couldn't think what he
